Great Experience!

Reviewed By Amy - Roseville | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe

Michelle is very knowledgeable and always responsive! She took all the hassle out of planning and made it really enjoyable. Michelle has a lot of first hand experience, having traveled the world herself, and was able to provide lots of recommendations for my trip. I can't wait to plan my next trip with her!

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

I’ve worked with Michelle Bates for the last 4 years and I can’t give enough praise on how helpful she was to my family and friends. Michelle always went above and beyond to ensure that our travel plans were perfect.

Look forward to Valentines Day @ Hershey.

Extremely prompt, courteous, professional, helpful suggestions, and created a very comfortable atmosphere. I felt like she treated me as she would her father or mother. I will absolutely use Michelle for my travel needs & recommend her to those around me.

Honeymoon of a lifetime

Michelle was great to work with, she was on top of everything! When picking a travel agent, it was important to us to find someone who would listen to what we wanted to do and not just the typical things you would do. She really took her time in asking and suggesting activities that were along the lines of what we wanted. The whole trip went perfectly and every we experienced was more than we expected! If you are looking for a well-traveled agent and someone who is looking out for you, she is a MUST go to!

Celebrating the big 25!

Reviewed By Tabitha - Pollock Pines, CA | Traveled to New York City ~ New York ~ USA

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle on my 25th Birthday Celebration Trip to New York City! A few of my girlfriends and I decided we wanted to do something special for our 25th Birthdays as they were all around the same time. Since none of us had yet been to New York, this was an easy decision for us to make! As we had never planned anything so big ourselves, we decided to search around for someone who could help us on our upcoming trip. After searching agency's, we discovered Michelle and her wealth of travel knowledge. Her experience, and the fact that she was close in age, made for an easy decision. She helped us with everything! Flights, hotels, activities, food & so much more! I am planning a trip to Ireland in the next 2 years for my 30th and I know who I will be using. Thank you Michelle!

From New Orleans Square-Disneyland to NOLA

I have booked numerous trips through Michelle and every time she has gone above and beyond. Whether it’s a family trip to Disneyland, or a girls trip to New Orleans, she has made sure that every trip detail is covered. She’s very knowledgeable in everything travel, from countries to continents and is always upbeat. I highly recommend Michelle when it comes to any of your travel needs.

Extremely Satisfied

Over the past two year Michelle has helped me on multiple occasions, from booking short notice hotel rooms, sourcing flights to the Cayman Islands, booking a Jamaican honeymoon for my brother in law and his new wife to helping my wife and I book a week long trip to Roatan and then later helping us cancel the trip once we learned we were expecting our third child. Every time she has helped me with very prompt and friendly service as well as a few times has offered various resort options other than my original request to help us get the best trip possible for the lowest dollar spent. I would/have recommended Michelle to family and friends for their vacation needs and look forward to booking more trips with her in the future.

Best Experience in Planning EVER!

Michelle is a true example of an all around employee. She takes great pride in her job that shows through all her hard work and positivity. Her incredibly fast responses, paying very close attention to detail, and making this whole experience about my husband and I has shown through this whole process. Michelle helped my husband and I plan the honeymoon of our dreams to Australia. We leave in just a couple days and I have no stress or anxiety because everything has been taken care of well in advance. There is no one else I would trust to ensure the best quality for customer service when planning a dream vacation and I will definitely be using Michelle for all future adventures!

50th Anniversary Cruise

Reviewed By Martyr Mom - Davis, CA | Traveled to Europe

We have had several different travel agents while working with Davisville Travel. Michelle very kindly (and effortlessly) stepped in when we were part-way through planning our Baltic Cruise with NCL. She found us the least expensive flights, recommended a hotel in Amsterdam which was lovely, and made our journey all the smoother. She had great advice and was good at hand-holding :)

When history came to life!

Michelle is fantastic! She set us up on our D.C. trip and everything was great! Flights, hotel and location, all just fantastic! The only thing that could have made it better was having more time to see all of our Country's history! If you need a trip or vacation book, I highly recommend Michelle.

Wonderful trip to paradise!

Michelle was so professional, organized & very responsive. She worked her magic booking wonderful locations for our family trip on fairly short notice. Maui especially was the best ever! Seamless travel in spite of the Christmas Holiday travel.
